Deleting iCloud backup on an old device

Now that I have a new iPhone and have traded in the old one, can I go ahead and delete the iCloud backup for the old phone?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

If the 2 phones will use the same Apple ID, the next backup of the new phone will overwrite the backup for the old phone.
